All -
Stopped in at Brewery Creek nursery (in Belle Plaine, MN) last Thursday on my way back to the Cities from Mankato (work). I had wanted to go to their harvest festival (10/2-3/99) but couldn't (for family reasons) so thought, why not now? Looked around for a while, didn't see much except for the pumpkins. Finally asked a lady at the front "Where are the chiles?". She was kind enough to show me the entire place! She told me that almost all of the peppers were gone because of the harvest festival, but that they had had over 200 varieties! She also told me they are going to do it all again next year. I managed to get some fruits (to save the seeds - mostly ornamental like the neat purple/red/yellow chiles and some Orange Blossom). Anyway, enough rambling - if you get the chance next spring, GO HERE! VERY nice people, and evidently an incredible selection of chiles and peppers. Maybe I'll see you there. (No affiliation, yada, yada)
I also use the American Harvest - works great.
